A kind of is the virtual screening method of the novel anticancer medicine of target spot with Keap1
Technical field
The present invention relates to drug screening method, to relate in particular to keap1 be target spot, utilize the screening technique of the novel anticancer medicine that the medicine virtual screening method of molecular docking carries out.
Background technology
Cancer is the arch enemy of man, and especially morbidity such as lung cancer, liver cancer, cancer of the stomach, cancer of the esophagus, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and mortality ratio are still high in recent years.For beat cancer, almost each country has all spent substantial contribution and manpower.According to World Health Organization's report, global New Development cancer patient 1,010 ten thousand people in 2000, dead 6,200,000 people, existing cancer stricken case 2,240 ten thousand.Whole world cancer is still in rising trend, and according to The World Health Organization's scholarly forecast, the year two thousand twenty whole world total population will reach 8,000,000,000, and the cancer new cases will reach 2,000 ten thousand, and 1,200 ten thousand people die from cancer, and cancer will become the first human killer of new century.Generally admit through medical circle, cancer is not the god of death.From the nineties in 20th century, western developed country common cancers such as the U.S., Canada, Australia begin to descend, and Japanese cancer mortality has become and steadily no longer raise.This variation, exciting and inspiration.And developing country increases quickening, and 60% occurs in developing country in the cancer patient.China's pathogenesis of cancer number in 2000 is 2,000,000, dead 1,500,000.According to statistics, cancer mortality has risen 18.1% among 1991-2000 China city dwellers, and cancer mortality has risen 11.03% among the urban residents, and average every dead 5 people just have a people to die from cancer.China is in the period to developed country's cancer spectrum transition by developing country.
Under various carcinogen effects, it is a long-term and hidden process that normal cell develops into tumour cell.Continuous damage causes to DNA or/and the inactivation of tumor suppressor gene is owing to carcinogen to have abundant proof to show the continuous activation of oncogene.The canceration process is to be caused by multifactor, experiences a plurality of stages and relates to the unusual of many barss transmission path.Research in nearly several 10 years shows that the canceration process can be slowed down, stop and reverse.Therefore, stoping the canceration process is the available strategy of prophylaxis of cancer.
Although ultraviolet ray, virus etc. can cause canceration, chemical carcinogens is the primary factor of canceration.In general, chemical carcinogen at first can be by the detoxification system metabolism of human body after getting into body.The detoxification machine of liver is shaped on two road programs in the human body: be called Phase I and Phase II detoxification system respectively.Phase I is first road detoxifcation program; This system mainly is made up of Cytochrome P450 enzyme; Playing the part of an oxidation and the role who divides toxolysin in detoxification processes; But the toxin after Phase I activation might have more toxicity than original molecule, therefore needs to remove toxicity by the Phase II enzyme system in second road; The function of Phase II enzyme system promptly is the performance detoxication, these molecules is lost activity, the injury of neutralize a toxin molecule pair cell, DNA.The protection system of biosome is receiving that the quantity of stimulation back through the II phase enzyme that increases sharply plays a protective role.This kind of enzyme is the ability of counteract toxin damage dna and cause cancer effectively.Phase II enzyme system comprises Glutathione transferase, and Quinone reductase etc. have the function of superpower cancer-resisting and prevention cell mutation.For example wherein Quinone reductase (QR, quinone reductase) be study one of Phase II enzyme the most widely.Think that at present the increase of phase II enzyme level can provide a suitable valid approach resisting cancer.And can be regarded as a very effective method of cancer chemoprotective new drug development through the compound that screening has a phase II enzyme induction.
No matter traditional drug screening is screening of animal level or the screening of high-flux cell platform; It is complicated all to exist natural drug and COF, from confirming that extract has potential anti-cancer effect to definite effective constituent, need spend great amount of manpower to finally isolating monomer component; Time and efforts; The speed of screening compounds and efficient are extremely low, and the cycle is long, positive rate low (0.01%~0.1%).Therefore, development of virtual screening method in recent years and the application in new drug research have received widely and having paid attention to.So setting up efficient, effective, the quick-acting Chemistry for Chinese Traditional Medicine of cover anti-cancer medicine screen body is tied to form and is the task of top priority.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to set up a kind of novelty, fast, is the medicine virtual screening method of target spot with keap1 efficiently, to remedy the deficiency of existing method.
Mechanism of the present invention is:

Embodiment
Following examples will help those of ordinary skill in the art further to understand the present invention, but not limit the present invention in any form.
1 one kinds of cysteine residues Cys151 with keap1 albumen of embodiment are avtive spot, carry out the virtual screening of cancer chemoprotective cancer therapy drug.
(1) the virtual screening step is following:
1, utilize the homology mould to build the structured data that software is confirmed the PDB in Keap1 protein structure active function territory
Utilize Swiss Model online service; Extract amino acid sequence (the FASTA form of human Keap1; Fig. 2), submitting the template function of search of Swiss Model to, is template with the tertiary protein structure (3i3nb) with the KLHL11 of the BTB functional domain high conservative of keap1; The homology modeling confirms that the tertiary protein structure (1-314) in active function territory of keap1 is as shown in Figure 3.
The model that obtains through the homology modeling method often has some irrational mixes, therefore, is employed in line model analysis tool Molprobity (http://molprobity.biochem.duke.edu/index.php) and assesses.Evaluation criteria is: the adosculation (atom clashes) excessively that red expression is comparatively serious; The irrational dihedral angle of green expression; Purple is represented irrational Cb; Crocus is represented irrational rotamer.Assessment result by Fig. 4 can clearly find out, is that the pocket scope in activated centre exists unreasonable structure hardly or crosses adosculation with the active cysteine residues site Cys151 of keap1.Summary statistics shows that this model is reasonable basically.Therefore, the model of the tertiary protein structure in the active function territory of keap1 shown in Figure 3 can not taked further optimization and directly be used for subsequent operation.
2, adopt Autodock molecular docking software, confirm the activated centre, set active pocket according to the active cysteine residues site Cys151 of keap1;
In this step; At first utilize the known molecule that addition reaction can take place with the active cysteine residues site Cys151 of keap1 to do the positive control molecule; According to its in the active pocket that with avtive spot Cys151 is center construction with the interactional binding energy of pocket and whether to help taking place Michael addition reaction be standard, confirm in the keap1 albumen with Cys151 to be the size of the active pocket at center.
2.1 utilize Autodock molecular docking software to carry out the setting of molecular docking Program for Calculation.
Key step is following:
1), with in the step 1, the tertiary protein structure in the keap1 active function zone that the homology modeling is confirmed is handled in MGLTools.Mainly comprise the removal hydrone, add nonpolar hydrogen, add the Gasteiger electric charge.Save as hKeaplforMD.pdbqt at last.
2), calculate lattice point energy (AutoGrid), in Grid>Set Map Types>Directly, import into carrying out the atomic type that the lattice point energy calculates.Operation AutoGrid can generate a series of files after accomplishing, and is mainly the map file of each atom.
3), be that each micromolecule part is prepared the required file of butt joint, this process will use the SHELL script to realize (Fig. 5).Make earlier the listing file ligands.list of a micromolecule part, then according to the order of SHELL script shown in Figure 5 input command Run Script a.csh successively; Will be after the operation above accomplishing for each micromolecule part generate a file, this document folder comprises the required All Files of butt joint: the map file that part, acceptor, AutoGrid produce, dpf file etc.Next step promptly can dock.
4), circular flow AutoDock: circular flow AutoDock, dock each micromolecule part, and extract butt joint result such as binding energy and the butt joint sort result.This script can move a plurality of simultaneously, does not disturb mutually, therefore can utilize computer resource fully.
5), extract the butt joint result: obtain summary.sort at last: virtual screening is so far finished.
2.2 the active cysteine residues site Cys151 with keap1 is the activated centre, sets active pocket;
(network address: http://www.modelling.leeds.ac.uk/pocketfinder/), the result finds do not have tangible binding pocket near the Cys151 to utilize Pocket-Finder to search near Cys151 possible active binding pocket.Consider that Cys151 is a hydrophilic amino-acid residue, may have hydrophilic binding pocket near the supposition Cys151.Autodock4.2 program and corresponding Graphical Analysis Software MGLTools-1.5.4 are adopted in molecular docking.In MGLTools, adjust display mode, show the keap1 surface characteristics, the result sees Fig. 6.Yl moiety is represented the position of Cys151 among Fig. 6, can see near the Cys151 that by Fig. 6 the groove that obviously impales is arranged, and the right is that the known positive that can combine with the Cys151 position of keap1 is with reference to molecule DEM6 among Fig. 6.Clearly, that groove solvent accessible surface among Fig. 6 is bigger, is the active pocket setting area.Because it is bigger to consider that pocket is influenced by water, therefore the grade of fit of micromolecule part in this pocket investigated with Autodock4.2, further optimize the setting of pocket.
The setting of active pocket during butt joint: the coordinate file of at first opening keap1; Find the coordinate of each atom of Cys151; Average in x, y, three directions of z respectively, draw the centre coordinate of Cys151, and write down numerical value (be that x is-10.094, y for-6.533, z is-32.398).When active pocket was set, corresponding x, y, the z in active pocket center filled out earlier above-mentioned numerical value respectively.The default value of sizing grid is 40 * 40 * 40, and step-length (spacing) is 0.375nm, then through adjusting the numerical value of sizing grid repeatedly, further confirms the position and the size of active pocket, makes it can just encase groove.With the active cysteine residues site Cys151 of keap1 is that the active pocket in activated centre is: centre coordinate is that x is-10.094, y for-6.533, z is-32.398, the size of active pocket decides according to the molecular docking result and the interaction mode of the positive control molecule in following 2.3 steps.
2.3 adjustment and checking active pocket
The Lamarckian genetic algorithm (LGA) of computing machine widespread use is adopted in butt joint, and each part produces 50 butt joint conformations, and ga_pop_size is made as 300ga_num_evals and is made as 250000, and all the other parameters adopt the program default value.The micromolecule part can freely rotate during butt joint, and protein molecule then is fixed.Calculate and finish the back with the foundation of RMSD value as cluster analysis.
Utilize known molecule (1) xanthohumol that addition reaction can take place with the active cysteine residues site Cys151 of keap1; (2) isoliquiritigenin; (3) DEM (structural formula is following) does the positive control molecule, according to they in active pocket with the interactional binding energy of pocket and whether to help taking place Michael addition reaction be standard, be the active pocket in activated centre with Cys151 in the checking keap1 albumen.
According to repeated validation, we have finally confirmed the condition that is provided with of active pocket.Specific as follows: for the active cysteine residues site Cys151 with keap1 is the active pocket in activated centre: centre coordinate is that x is-10.094, y for-6.533, z is-32.398; The sizing grid value is 30 * 34 * 34, and step-length (spacing) is 0.375nm.
Be below under this active pocket of confirming, three positive control molecules reach the interactional analysis of group on every side with the activated centre in active pocket.
